CLEVELAND – MMAjunkie was on scene and reporting live from today’s early UFC 203 fighter weigh-ins, where title challenger Alistair Overeem was fined for being late to the scale.

A heavyweight title fight between champion Stipe Miocic (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) and Overeem (41-14 MMA, 6-3 UFC) headlines the card. Miocic weighed 246 pounds for the first defense of his title. Overeem was not much heavier at 248.5 – but because he missed his deadline for weighing in, the Ohio Athletic Commission fined him $500.

The early weigh-ins, which preceded the ceremonial affair later in the day, took place in Cleveland.

The ceremonial weigh-ins took place at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, the same venue that hosts Saturday’s event, which has a main card on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

UFC officials recently adopted the early weigh-ins to allow fighters more time to rehydrate before the event.

Only UFC newcomer Michael McBride missed weight. He came in at 158 pounds for his lightweight fight against Nik Lentz, who weighed 156. McBride took the fight on short notice but was still fined 20 percent of his purse, which will go to Lentz.
